If only the province's municipal structures and property tax systems had kept pace with the changes in Alberta's demographics...

They didn't.

Since 1996 when the latest Municipal Government Act was created, The urban 81% of the population's share of Alberta's industrial property tax revenues has actually fallen from 97.8 Million that year to 95.7 Million in 2013. The rural 19% of the population's share grew from 463.6 Million that year to 16.7 BILLION in 2013. To be clear, this isn't 16.7 Billion spread over all of those years. The rural 19% got 16.7 Billion dollars in 2013 alone.

Everyone in Alberta contributes to our economic prosperity and everyone should share equitably.
